Probiotics can help you have the holiday you want

People can be more susceptible when they travel away from home during the summer and research has shown that probiotics can help maintain a healthy digestive system particularly if taken prior to going away on holiday. In addition to this it can aid healthy digestion as well as support the pre holiday diet.

Professor Glenn Gibson, professor of microbiology at the University of Reading and a leading authority on probiotics says: “Probiotics have been shown to fight "bad" bugs in the gut and improve intestinal health, easing symptoms such as bloating and constipation. Look for products containing lactobacillus and bifidobacterium and in quantities of more than 10 million.

'With tablets, I would recommend Multibionta, as the capsule has a protective coating around it which protects the probiotics from stomach acid until they reach the large intestine.”

Seven Seas Multibionta

Seven Seas Multibionta contains a range of multivitamins with minerals and probiotics to help support a healthy digestive and immune system. Unlike other multivitamins, Multibionta contains TriBion harmonis, a unique blend of natural probiotic cultures which help to maintain healthy immune and digestive systems to help you cope with stressful days when you don't get all the nutrients you need from your diet.

Each one-a-day tablet provides 10 million probiotic cultures and has a unique protective release coating to ensure the probiotics survive their journey through the highly acidic stomach environment and are only released when they reach your intestinal tract. Scientific studies have shown that the special coating means significantly more probiotics reach your gut safely.
